Vanilla Shortbread Cookies

Preheat oven to 300°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt on medium speed until light and fluffy. On low speed, add flour and mix just until no dry flour remains.

Use a #50 scoop to portion dough evenly; roll into balls. Place dough balls on an unlined half sheet pan.
Press balls with cookie stamp or the bottom of a glass. Bake in center of preheated oven for 20-30 minutes until they just begin to turn golden around the edges. Cool completely on rack before storing in an airtight container.
